Chapter 76 Mother-in-law Returns Gift

Chapter 76 Mother-in-law Returns Gift

After the nitrogen fertilizer was applied, the wheat seedlings in the field began to turn green within three days.

Tong Huaqiong came back from closing her stall in town and was delighted to see her wheat fields starting to turn green.

However, it was still too late to apply the fertilizer, as the wheat ears had already emerged. If nitrogen fertilizer had been applied before the wheat seedlings emerged, more grain could have been produced this year.

Tong Huaqiong didn't worry too much about it. At least it was confirmed that the soil in her own fields was indeed lacking in nitrogen, which led to low wheat yields.

Although the expected bumper harvest was not achieved this year, once this problem is solved, we will definitely have a bumper harvest next year and the year after.

Tong Huaqiong was so tired that she didn't want to move. She just sat on the flatbed and let Gu Dashu push her into his yard.

She is the mother, and she should fully enjoy the right to be served by her son.

Now Gu Dashu has gotten used to it. His mother and sister are sitting on the flatbed cart, and he pulls it at a very fast pace.

Someone is talking in the room.

Hearing the noise in the yard, someone in the house came out. Tong Huaqiong raised her eyes and found that it was Liu Yue'e's mother, Zhao.

The iron tree is blooming.

One day, Liu Yue'e's mother actually came to Gu's house to chat.

"The in-laws are here." Tong Huaqiong took the initiative to greet Zhao.

Zhao was obviously stunned.

Tong Da Jiao actually understands etiquette.

"The vegetables in my garden are ripe. I picked the first batch and brought a basket for you, my elder sister, to try." Zhao looked a little uncomfortable.

There is no way, Tong Da Jiao was too difficult to deal with in the past.

Living in the same village, Zhao almost never interacted with Tong Dajiao. Her daughter's insistence on marrying Gu Dashu made Zhao full of resentment towards Tong Dajiao.

Before she came to the Gu family this time, she did a lot of ideological work on herself, but she still couldn't figure out the rhythm of getting along with her mother-in-law.

"That's great, I'm in for a treat." Tong Huaqiong accepted it gracefully.

For a moment, Zhao didn't know how to get along with such a polite and generous mother-in-law.

"I tasted the cakes that my elder sister sent me last time, and they were better than those from Sushiyuan. No wonder people in the village who go to the market say that your cakes are very popular in town." Zhao tried to find a topic.

She also didn't expect that her daughter's mother-in-law would change her career and start a business, and she is doing well in it.

Her mother-in-law, who always rolled her eyes at her, asked her daughter and son-in-law to send fertilizer and cakes to the house. It must be God's blessing.

Since her mother-in-law has shown goodwill, as a reasonable person, she cannot just ignore her.

So Zhao wanted to return the favor to her mother-in-law, so she picked two full baskets of vegetables from the vegetable garden, estimated the time when Tong Huaqiong would close her stall, and sent them over.

Tong Huaqiong knew that Zhao came to her house to thank her for the cakes and nitrogen fertilizer she sent.

"It's okay. I can't keep living in confusion. Luckily, I knew how to make cakes when I was a girl, so I thought of setting up a stall in town." Tong Huaqiong said.

Being able to bake cakes is a real skill. My mother-in-law was just too lazy to make cakes before, but now she has shown some enthusiasm. Zhao is happy for Liu Yue'e.

"Mom, I told you that my mother-in-law led us all to live a good life, but you didn't believe it. Now you see it with your own eyes, do you believe it? When I married Dashu, you were not happy. You always wanted me to marry Hu Er from Dongtu Village, saying that he was a hunter and would not have to worry about meat. Last year he was killed by a tiger. If I married Hu Er, I would be a widow." Liu Yue'e was happy to see that her mother-in-law and her mother got along so well, so she held Zhao's shoulders and acted coquettishly.

Zhao's eyes went dark.

Who does this stupid girl take after? She calls her mother-in-law a widow. Isn't she just stabbing a knife into her mother-in-law's heart?

Tong Huaqiong also felt that Liu Yue'e was indeed a bit stupid, but she was not angry.

Widow, she was glad that the original owner was a widow.

"Yue'e, can you also get a stool for your mother to sit on? Just let her stand there?" Tong Huaqiong changed the subject.

"No, no, I can just stand. Sister, the fertilizer you asked Dashu to send is really effective. The yellow leaves in my wheat field have turned green." Zhao started talking about the wheat field.

"As long as it works." Tong Huaqiong said.

Gu Dashu wiped his sweat and came to Zhao's side, saying, "It's not easy for you to come home, let's eat at home tonight."

No matter how reckless Gu Dashu is, he still feels uneasy when facing his mother-in-law.

Especially when facing the kind-hearted mother-in-law, I don't know where to put my hands and feet.

Because he knew that his mother-in-law always looked down on him.

"Yes, let's eat at home." Tong Huaqiong also greeted warmly.

Zhao waved her hand and said, "No, I still have to cook when I get home."

Tong Huaqiong did not continue to try to persuade her to stay, and ordered Gu Dashu to give Zhao a roast chicken she had bought in town, and of course also packed a bag of pastries for Zhao to take home for her grandchildren.

Gu Dashu bared his teeth and walked his mother-in-law out of the yard in a respectful manner.

After seeing Zhao off, Tong Huaqiong washed her face and chatted with Maner.

Chen Sufen and Liu Yue'e put the food on the table and the family sat together to have dinner.

Maner and Yaozu were good at livening up the atmosphere. They talked about various interesting things in the village in their childish words, making everyone laugh.

After dinner, Tong Huaqiong called Chen Sufen into the room, pointed at a pile of things on the table and said, "These are gifts for your parents. I wanted you to go back tomorrow, but you know tomorrow is Mr. Huang's mother's birthday, and I want to take Man'er with me to give her some cakes, so I'll have to ask you to go back the day after tomorrow."

Chen Sufen was startled.

She really didn't expect that her mother-in-law would attach so much importance to her trip back to her parents' home and prepare so many things for her.

I took a quick look at the pile of things, which included cloth, red and white sugar, cakes, and Chinese medicinal materials.

"Mom, this thing is too heavy."

Chen Sufen looked touched.

The mother-in-law is making herself proud.

When she first got married, she went back to her parents' home with very little stuff, and her sister-in-law was so angry that her face was longer than a donkey's. This time when she went back, she showed these things to see who dared to give her a bad face.

"You haven't been back for so many years, you should bring more gifts back." Tong Huaqiong smiled, took out a hairpin and a set of rouge and powder from the package beside her and handed them to Chen Sufen, saying, "Since you are going back to your mother's house, you can't dress too shabby. Put on the new clothes I bought for you last time, put on this hairpin, put on some powder and rouge, and dress up nicely."

Chen Sufen choked up and said, "Mom, I understand."

These are not enough.

Tong Huaqiong took out another tael of silver and handed it to Chen Sufen, saying, "The day after tomorrow, buy some mutton, chicken, and fish to take with you."

Chen Sufen was so moved that she almost knelt down to Tong Huaqiong.

She had already imagined the scene of returning to her parents' home the day after tomorrow, bringing her husband and daughter, dressed up, and carrying a lot of gifts. It was estimated that the whole village would come to her parents' home to watch.

Finally feel proud!

"Grandma, is mom going to take me to grandma's house?" Maner walked in and said.

"Yes, your mother will take you to see your grandma the day after tomorrow. You must wear your most beautiful clothes." Tong Huaqiong said, touching Maner's head.

"Okay."

Maner agreed obediently, looking expectant.

Visiting relatives has always been a happy thing for children. Maner went to her grandmother's house when she was a child, and she has no impression of it at all.

This time I can go with my dad and mom to visit grandma. I will have new clothes to wear and delicious food to eat. How can I not be happy?

"Maner went there once when she was two years old. Now she's grown up. My parents will definitely be happy to see her." Chen Sufen said expectantly.

Tong Huaqiong sneered in his heart, that’s not necessarily true.
